CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION
As part of the centennial celebration in May, 2008, OSD opened a muse-um
that houses past OSD artifacts and records, and will house artifacts
and records of future generations. A special "thank you" goes to Betty Fine
who collected and stored treasures during the
forty-two and a half years that she has worked
at OSD. In addition, Sue Galloway and Sue
Cole worked diligently to arrange the contents
of the museum. As part of the effort to raise
funds for the establishment of the museum,
the OSD Foundation for Excellence in Educa-tion
decided to sponsor a memorial brick sale.
KaAnn Varner headed that campaign and Ray-mond
Willingham helped in several areas.
OSD staff have been involved in many ways,
including, but not limited to, maintenance, caf-eteria,
and media department personnel. A
permanent location for the OSD Museum has

PLANNING MEETINGS
Two planning meetings were held, one at OSD and one in Ardmore at the
home of Jeff and Vicki Gelona. Discussions were held about where to put
the museum, what needed to be done first, and how to raise funds. It was
decided to put the museum in the auditorium building and to sell memori-al
bricks to raise funds and honor alumni and others who support OSD.
2 2010-2011
DEMOLITION AND REMODELING
OSDmaintenance workers tore down cabinets in the rooms and knocked
the walls out between four classrooms. They painted and laid a new wood
floor and placed new tiles in the ceiling. The best of the old cabinets were
repainted and hung in the newly renovated space. Doors were made and
put on the fronts of the cabinets to store museum documents, photos, and
other items.

MOVE-IN DAY
The maintenance men completed the mammoth job of moving all the pa-pers,
furniture, and other items that had been saved over the years. Items
kept coming and it was hard to know where to put everything! The muse-um
was roughly divided into sections and, with the help of Sue Cole and
Sue Galloway, items were placed where they belonged.
Display cases brought up from the Vocational Building and other locations are
placed outside the building and in the hallways outside the museum
until it is decided where they go.
~----------------------------------------~
This was the beginning of the move when only big items of furniture are in the
museum, in the areas where they finally will be placed.
4 2010-2011
Furniture and many boxes of books, rolls of maps, and other equipment
have been brought to the museum and placed in their designated areas.
Then came the hard part of deciding what to display, which pictures to
hang, and how to arrange all the furniture. Maintenance helped move the
larger pieces and hang all the pictures. Everyone worked very hard to fin-ish
the job before graduation.

in 1955. The bookcases are filled with old American Annals of

This is set up as a classroom with old desks, maps, and books.
There is an old typewriter on the desk and it, along with the
16mm projector, represent old technology. Also on the desk
is a paddle that used to be used at OSD.

This is a close-up of the tribute to Ted Griffing. On the walls
and in the drawers of the file cabinet are some of the many
awards that were presented to him during his life of teaching
and caring for the students at OSD.
The photos show groups of former students in driver's educa-tion
classes, and the various cars they used to drive. The box-es
contain equipment that students used in the classroom to
practice before they were allowed to drive "for real."
2010-2011
There is a long tradition of foot-ball
and basketball at OSD. The
trophy case is full of the many
awards we have won over the
years. The display case contains
old football helmets and pads, old
basketballs, and playbooks.
OSD participated in the Boy
Scouts for many years and
had it's own troop. We even
had one of our students
achieve the highest award in
scouting and become an Eagle
Scout There is a section that
has old uniforms and pictures
of the various students in
scouting.
The photo above left shows

the OSD dorms from long

pictures to the right and

the student union. Art
work is by students.

THE BRICKS
The OSDFEE sponsored a memorial brick sale to raise
funds for the museum. There were several sizes available
and orders came in quickly. The OSD maintenance staff
prepared the area for the bricks and the burying of the time
capsule. During alumni weekend, this area was popular as
people searched for names of friends and family.
